I just started to forward test Phoenix contest version
Broker - mig FX
When the Phoenix initiated first trade I noticed weird thing that the price on the chart is not the same as in trade terminal. For example if the price on the chart is 118,10 the price in terminal window is 118,12.
Here is the question why is that and how can we change it?

The 2 pip difference between what you see on the chart and what you see on the trade window is the "spread". There are different prices for "bid" and "ask" depending if you buy or sell. There is no "fix".
Some brokers have a 2 pip spread, some currencies by the same broker have 9 pip spreads. We pay the spread twice, once on entering the trade, once on exiting the trade. This means a "commission free broker" is charging you $40 on a 2 pip spread for EURUSD.

Got that since one hour in Expert

Somebody explain me ? Thks

Hi,

I am running v5_6_04 on three different demo accounts trading the same pair (USDJPY). Trades were placed normally for a day or so, but now no new trades are placed for any of the three accounts. There's no open trades on any of them at the moment, and has been like this since yesterday. I have a feeling something is not working, but I am not able to figure out what it is. Any ideas where I can begin to look?

?????????????????
Somebody can give me some explanations.... Gracias...

Is it possible to make Phoenix to open ONLY buy positions, and NEVER open sell ones. The thing is EVERY TIME it opens a sell, I end up with a loss. At least that what happens in my case. Is there an option to do that?



Cheers,
Diam0nd




I LOVE

My optimization is not working. I have followed the directions, and it looks like it is optimizing wih with 10/10 in the corner, and it takes longer than normal, but the optimization graph and results are always blank. Am I missing something?
